Jay was incredible voicing a particularly complex character for my fiction audiobook. His ability to understand the nuances of a scene along with his effective implementation of directional notes is what makes the difference between a reading and a performance. A true pro!

Jay is everything that a professional voice actor should be. His voice is flexible and dynamic and delivers a quality, polished product. He is performing my audio book, and I have been more than pleased with the variation he brings to each character. Thanks, Jay!

I've had the pleasure of hiring Jay Simon for three voice-over sessions (so far), and can say without reservation that he's a consummate professional who will always go the extra mile to please his client. Multiple distinct takes are a given, without prompting, and direction is taken in good humor. Jay has a wide range of voices he can create, and really inhabits the character he's voicing to bring something very special to the final product.
